Xbox 360 "Lips" Getting Announced Tomorrow?
Posted by Mark Wilson at 4:12 AM on May 13, 2008
8bitjoystick (a site known for some good Xbox 360 intel) has confirmed that Microsoft has been working on an Xbox 360 accessory known as "lips." What's "lips," you ask? No one knows for sure, though we know it's not the Wiimotesque Newton, and voice certainly comes to mind. As does kissing and some dirtier stuff. Meanwhile, major gaming forum NeoGAF spotted "lips" in the lineup of Microsoft Gamer's Day tomorrow. We'll keep you updated if the announcement hits. In the meantime, speculate away as to what "lips" could be in the comments. [8bitjoystick and NeoGAF via 360-HQ]

Seems like some sort of voice control technology.

@nutbastard:In which case, the 'ex-box lips' would perhaps be the skin of the newly crafted unit?

What if they meant the lips... on the other end. Just saying, that's all. Now that would have made for a interesting picture... of course we'd all be fired.

The latest in teledildonic technology, of course.
Although x-box sounds like ex-box which sounds like what flesh is leftover after a f2m sex change and which is used for scrotal architecture.

Microsoft has created a diveice that can make any flavour - all you have to do is put it between your lips and taste
... to far fetched?

My guess is this thing uses the 360's camera attachment to read lips?

It's called HotDog. They're going to combine an XBOX (lips) and Sony (assholes) content to release HD downloads (HotDog).

Could it be that microsoft is comming out with a game controller for the lips? Lip control devices used by disabled persons for video games have shown amazing control is possible with practice... Comercially viable in todays germophobe world? Heck no...

My, aren't we an undersexed bunch. I'm sure there are some here who are joking, but there are some people here genuinely attracted to Curves just because she has a marginally suggestive icon. It's creepy.

@joestoner: You are correct that mine is only a marginally suggestive icon. Basically a kiss from me to all of Gizdom. Maybe I am fooling myself, but I like to think that when anyone is attracted to me (in any setting), that its due to more than just my looks.
Just remember: Excrement in a pretty package is still just shit.

I think it's pretty clear that Angelina Jolie will be bundled with every new Xbox 360. Or maybe every copy of GOW2.

What, they figured how much the vast majority of men love Angie's lips so they're putting together events at big-box retailers around the country where Angelina will set up a kissing booth for free to those who can prove ownership of a 360?
Wishful thinking?

@Curves:
@ANoel: Actually, you could go even further than 'advertising' and call it branding. She's branded herself pretty well using that icon and epithet. Her demure also ads to her brand. And her audience/consumer seems to dig it. So, your top line is WELL over your bottom line, so to speak, Curves. ROI FTW!

I speak my mind and I just happen to be female. I wish I could live up the the hype, but I am just a commenter, the same as the rest of you guys.
